Thirteen places I’d like to visit (or revisit)
In no particular order:
- London, England (or is “UK” more politically correct?)—one of my 2 favorite cities in the world.
- Florence, Italy—the other of my 2 favorite cities in the world, with the added attraction of Italian food.
- San Francisco, CA—the place I always wished I was from.
- Seattle, WA—My dad was based out of Seattle during WWII and my mom said she begged him to settle there after the war. But for Dad there was no place like Iowa.
- Newport, RI—I was stationed there for 4 years and my memories are great.
- Machu Picchu, Peru—preferably before I’m too old to hike the Inca Trail.
- Hawaii—I’ve never been and I’d like to walk the same streets as Magnum PI and “Dan-o.”
- Venice, Italy—yeah, they say it’s dirty, but c’mon, it’s still Venice, and still one of a kind.
- Amsterdam—another city of canals. And beautiful jewelry. And a renowned red-light district.
- Rio de Janeiro—or some other South American city.
- Belize—I’ve wanted to visit ever since I watched “After the Storm” with Benjamin Bratt. It was filmed in Belize and it was absolutely gorgeous.
- Antarctica—I always wanted to be stationed there when I was in the Navy. And now they have cruises to the place. If the ship doesn’t sink.
- French Riviera—because it’s French; and the Riviera.

Belize is every bit as cool as it looks. I went last April. If you’re interested, I did a bunch of blogs on it. Click on Travel in the catagory window of my sidebar to see them.
